Well Made Decisions

About this book

How do I make good decisions?

This is a question many leaders ask as they consider choices on investments, hiring (and firing), product launches, acquisitions, and more. Often people think the decision itself is what makes a good outcome but, in reality, the many choices that follow a decision heavily influence its level of success. Well Made Decisions explores how leaders can both make a choice and make it right through exceptional implementation.

In this book, you will learn:

  • Why both decision-making and implementation are crucial to making decisions right
  • How one company's lack of candor cost them $1.4 billion
  • Why, despite good intentions, over 70% of mergers fail to achieve their potential
  • How to finish the decisions you start

Well Made Decisions includes stories and insights from Amazon, Intel, Netflix, Estée Lauder, Ann Sacks, Planar, Schoolhouse Electric and Supply Co, and more. Author and executive Jennifer Davis explains how post-decision follow-through-or the lack of it-alters the results of decisions. The book includes steps readers can take to improve how they make and implement decisions, including advice about talent density, strategy development, and team collaboration. If you've ever wondered what goes into a good decision, here's your go-to guide.
